#5 parenting blunders parents make.

We live in a world where there is so much competition for almost everything but Less competition in caring for people (friends, family, colleagues etc).

Parenting in this age has become formal, the relationship between a child and her parents in some families have lost the sweet intimacy and the cozy atmosphere, the emotional (and in extension) physical protection has disappeared.

There numerous blunders parents make towards their children and they have awfully negative impact on the kids as they tend to withdraw inwards and away from the parents, parents are most time unconscious of these errors they make.

#1. CHILDREN AS MISTAKES:
For no reason should a child be seen as a mistake. He may have been born out of planets preparation but every child is unique and brings his own blessings.
Whatever you view as a mistake  can never have a suitable place in your heart talk more of being a priority as every child should be.
 STOP SEEING CHILDREN AS MISTAKES.

#2. PUNISHING THEM FOR THE ERRORS OF YOUR SPOUSE:
for love's sakes!  Your child shouldn't be a vent for you anger against you husband/wife that betrayed, left or humiliated you.  You owe that child an obligation to protect him for emotional toxins.

#3. SEEING YOUR MISTAKES IN THEM: parents most times are in the business of  exerting excess chastising on child when they see that the child is making the same or similar costly or minor mistakes they (parents) made.
You are the adult, more experienced. Find ways of letting them know that you've been down this path before without them feeling like you want to kill them because of a thing that is minor before them.
Children are open to errors as they try to experience everything and anything.

#4. ABUSING YOUR SPOUSE BEFORE YOUR CHILD.
No matter how angry you are at you spouse, don't take it out on them before your child. Homes are supposed to be a paradise children long to come back to after school or visit but when you shout and yell at each other you make it a leaving hell home and they would desire a paradise away from your hell.

#5. DOWN TALKING YOUR CHILD.
self esteem is vital for development of any individual irrespective of their age and size.  The little ones should be helped to build a strong image of themselves, one of honor, self-love and confidence.
Parents talk down on the children unknowingly. And they are no aware of the crushing effect it has on the child. That child seems to either turn to stubbornness or expressly stops to show interest in things he can do at home or in school; this is mostly a desperate move to get attention or to hide from further humiliation.

Parenting is not an easy thing to do, but you wouldn't want to put in all the effort and have them misunderstand you in the long run.
